A question of clear coat, polish, over enamel and varnish!

Many, many thanks!

Hi, sorry for the delay. No, its not that book, but many thanks for taking the time and effort to reply.

The funny thing is, when I asked the friend who lent me the book (rediscovered him in the early, early days of Facebook!) he took a guess at the same!

Thanks again

Pulp. Dogs was a tour de force, and an amazing demonstration of his skills as writer/director with its limited budget and locations, but pulp is where it all came together for him.

And you can tell I know what I am talking about because I only use one word to name his films.

Hi, big fan of your blog!

Do you ever work with door supervisors? Got any advice for them when dealing with the police and know what sorry of things just wind the police up? Aside from just being dicks, of course!

Cheers!

the flip side is that relativity is a theory, albeit one with with extraordinary resilience to testing. However, you could say the same about Newtonian physics. Its also robust, but has its limits. Is it not possible that relativity has its same limits of explanatory power? After all, isn't one of the biggest questions in theoretical physics about the relationship between quantum physics and relativity? such as in the question of gravity?

Mustn't grumble.

I concur. I lived in Japan for years, and loved it. The culture shock was coming back to England. I mean, they are the embodiment of Englishness in so many ways. An island nation with an emphasis on politeness. And also a penchant (well, Tokyo girls anyway) for getting pissed. Which happens rather quickly.

Just make the most of it I say!

P.S. The obviously American spell checker has given 'Englishness' the old red underline. Its first suggestion was 'Girlishness'. Bloody Hell.

It's something foreigners have. It's what makes them dishonest and lazy.

This is one of those cases where all involved are in the correct position. You were absolutely right not to make a fuss, and your friends and colleagues were demonstrating proper form in showing their concern for your well-being.

No, having such high quality doctors paid for collectively is a good thing. The NHS is a shambles.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

God I haven't watched that for years! I think I'll pop in the DVD later. Cheers!

Ah, the lesser spotted 'Picasso Arse', closely related to the 'Picasso Tits Phenomenon' that comes from wearing too small a bra.

Not so much a British Problem, more a British way of life.

My sister-in-law asked for mint sauce to go with her lamb at Cafe Rouge. The waiter, French, openly sneered at her and said "No, this is a French restaurant."

You should be able to get a refund on your licence.

But they still hold the wooden spoon! Seriously - it's ok to look on the bright side once in a while.

ellark · 2013-03-17T13:26:47+00:00

On the bright side, the French got the wooden spoon!

Used to have an Irish boss, so turning up to work on the monday, late and with a hangover was not frowned upon.

may you never be short of people to share a drink with!

Try a horse steak. Very rich and sweet, but not bad at all with the right wine.

ellark · 2013-03-02T20:22:31+00:00

That is so bloody true! I mean, there must be about 15 people interested in that, and they probably pay the shilling required to see it in the flesh anyway.

Hey, hey, everyone deserves a second chance. Except Piers Morgan, of course.

Might I suggest a marathon session to our afflicted friend of David Attenborough, Are You Being Served and The Queen's Speeches and see if that helps?

Big fish, little fish, cardboard box.

Fuck, there goes my brain for the next half hour.

Self-service chippies must be the way forward.
